With the SpaceX IPO Elon Musk is the first person to surpass J.D. Rockefeller as the richest private citizen ever. However, adjusted for over 100 years of inflation, Rockefeller earned about $2 billion per year in real income. Musk earns nothing. What a difference a bubble makes.
>>62359950Peter Schiff was right
>>62359950He’s been ahead of Rockefeller as a percentage of GDP for years.
Idk why real income, if he just tracked the index at this point hes making 100b annual. Why does realizing it matter?
When God created Adam, he held all the worlds wealth and 100% of it's GDP. Even after Eve, he held at least 50%. I'll be impressed if Elon can reach these numbers, until then he will be another literal who business guy forgotten by time.
